FHF why don't you role play anymore?

This is what I think about this new "live action" junk:



Except the fruit is this stupid a** reality crap.

Let's be careful with the language here guys, but believe me, I sympathize.

Interesting that not only has Foster's ended, but so has Cartoon Network as we knew it. Maybe when Destination Imagination brings home an Emmy while their reality garbage tanks, it'll give them something to think about.

I didn't know about Craig not working for CN anymore until last month at Comic-Con. I think the network's direction was a factor. Khaki Jones doesn't work at Cartoon Network anymore, either, but she had told me earlier this year that she had left. There will still be animated shows out there, but as for the live action, I will not give them a chance. On the upside, from my understanding of the article, the live action programming, for the most part, is not doing well. I really do NOT want CN Real or any of the live action programming to do well. Stuart Snyder and Rob Sorcher are doing nothing but sinking CN faster than the Titanic.

Part of me is saddened by all this, but another part of me is wanting to yell out "Good!! Let them fail! See if I care!" And, seriously, Snyder and Sorcher aren't worried?? How arrogant and hard headed are they? You'd think they'd see what reality shows did to Nick and Disney, but noooooo, they think they're so good that they can pull it off when the others couldn't. Uh huh, yeah right. Now let's all just sit back, and relax, while we watch the network that threw away something so good, including Foster's, fail horribly. See if we care.

Oh, and

"Our network was 100% cartoons, and our audience is saying we also want to see ourselves,"

Really?? I don't know a single cartoon fan who'd rather see people like themselves instead of cartoons.

To paraphrase one Batholomew J Simpson

It appears to me that Cartoon Network is trying to catch up with the other networks by going slower then them.

I say this because of the part of the article when they talk about when Nickelodeon and Disney both gave up on the whole reality show thing because they themselves because they couldn't compete with already established ones.

CN has been shooting themselves in the foot with their "six seasons limit" thing, and the way that they treated their most popular and most financially-successful series is a crying shame, so it really does not hurt my feelings to see them go down. It sounds like they're trying to become Spike TV for teen boys...oh, joy. Hopefully Craig and Lauren will wind up with Disney/Pixar.
